Colonialism is _fait accompli_ but it's despicable outcomes are still manifested in the victims. Many analysts are of the view that colonialism has remained the only force that pull back many African countries on their path of development. Colonialism did nothing to African countries and all other ex-colonies except material exploitation, mental enslavement, psychological conquest and social deprivation; Africans ware exploited of their natural resources, their mentality was totally modified and remolded to act like the stupid europeans, and all their social heritage, values and customs ware stripped from them.
Guy, do not tell me that europeans have constructed some infrastructural facilities such as railway from Lagos to Kano and from Port Harcourt to Borno, or some stupid roads –those are all made to facilitate the transportation of raw materials explored from the said area. The schools built during the colonial era is not meant to produce educated Nigerians that will care for Nigerians, but some educated elite that will help the advancement of colonialism and capitalist interest, be serving as agent of communication between the local people and the colonial satans, and who are to facilitate the smooth process of neocolonialist agenda after the obviously _'flag' independence._
Socially, Africans ware deprived immensly. It is known fact that Whitemen do wear tie because the weather is very cold ( zero or minus degree), but it will be astonishing how somebody from Borno or Sokoto whose weather is reading 20 oh so degree celcius, even though sweating, but still waering that stupid nectie.
African society was, before colonialism, known for it is communalist arrangement and brotherhood feelings. But, such phenomenon was no longer in sight since the inception of colonialism along with its friends: capitalism and individualism.
Besides, colonialsm have led to so many languages to a jeoperdy and a condition similar to extinction. It is common now to see an Igbo lady of 25 years who can neither respond nor great in her native language.
Gentlemen, Europeans are the number one enemy of Africans, and they are ones who stood in our way of progress. All the vices or immoralities that is being committed by our politicians have it roots in colonialism. Whiteman is not your friend for ever.
Nowadays, I don't need to remind you of how we are remotely controlled. Our politicians campaigns for our votes not because they have significant impacts on the outcome, but because it is cultural (for democracy). But the most important tool in our politics is *the endorsement of the White Men*. I don't need to elaborate here.
There is actually no time for me to discuss the evils and reprehensible implications of Colonialists practices on us, but it suffice one to have the glance of what I mean by looking at how the lands of Africans was snatched and given to the White Men: Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia and South Africa are case to look in to.
